THE MED OF RESTRAINT.

IfrIVnibitiOn Is not test of Democracy in
Texas, there ought to be no ostraCism of indi-
vidualS on account of their attitude pro or
con on the question. Whenever, for example,
the party IS political organization meets to
nominate candidates for office, OF has made
nominations, there ought to be no test based on
anybodys position as a PrOhibitionst or anti
ProhiDitionist in a campaign like the present,
which embraces the simple issue of the adoption
of a constitutional amendment submitted by
the Democracy itself to a vote of the people,
and so EMMY declared to be non partisan.
Thus Mr.. Mills, Lieutenant Governor Gibbs,
Colonel HerndOn, ex-senator MaXey and other
Democrats On-both sides of the question are
entitled to the Jealous support of all Democrats
without reference to their views on prohibition,
and when they are put in nomination, or offer
themselves as candidates, there should be no
ostraCism.-[ Waco Day.
The Day speaks timely words in its
counsel against political ostracism here
after for words spoken in the debate on
prohibition or for ballots cast at the polls
next August; but is not the Day itself of
those who would so conduct this canvass
that future divisions and heart-burnings
will be inseparable from it? In the issue

taken, there is also printed this editorial
paragraph:
The prohibition campaign was opened in
somewhat vigorous lyle last week, but 1t is
hoped now that the sparks have been struck
off the red holiness will cool down a little 1t
is understood, however, that nobody will be
permitted 10 sit on the fence and see the pro.
CessiOn go by.
If the latter sentence means anything
it signifies that all Texas IS to be divided
into two hostile parties, and if the peo-
pie of the state are to be so arrayed, will
it not be utterly impossible to prevent
what the Day itself deprecates and so
wisely warns the people against? "The
simple issue" of which the Day speaks is
proposed revolution, and, of very neces-
capital, $1,000 Principal and inter
est guaranteed. -, agent" Organi
zation enables cities to systematic their
efforts, and system added to enterprise
and Iiberality and pluck brings success
that could not otherwise be attained.
There is no organization of efort3in Fort
Worth, and, therefore, no system, and
but partial success. And yet it would
seem that there is as much necessity for
organized effort in Fort Worth as in Kan
sss City.

A GREAT THING FOR COTTON
WERS

! The cotton congress that is to convene
in Waco on the 4th of May ought to and
no doubt will take steps for 8 thorough
investigation of the recently invented
process of stripping the lint from cotton
seed. This process is the invention Of q
Mlsslssippian, Mr.. Crawford, and is of
such recent date that as yet q majority OF
the cotton planters in the south are prob
ably not aware there is such an apparatus.
1t is one of the most important inven-
tons, so far as the cotton industry Is
concerned, Of the century, taxing rank
with the cotton gin. Where it's opera
lions have been testeo the results have
proven in every way satisfactory, and
what is highly important item, the ma
chinery is simple and comparatively mex
pensive. The process is said to divest
the seed, absolutely, of every particle of
lint, leaving it bald and clean. This in
vention means more money for cotton
growers, for it will give them a larger
yield of lint, which has heretofore been
wasted, and also leave the seed fully SIS val
liable for oil mill purposes. 1t was prob
lem, this thorough cleaning Of the seed,
that has long engaged the attention of cot
ton growers until finally most of them had
decided the solution was impracticable.
Mr.. Crawford, however, is the genius
who has come to the rescue, and his in
vention will ard ought to make him
rich man. Nobody will grudge him his
good luck for he has done great service
forcotton growers. The Mississippi papers
are enthusiastic over the workings of the
Crawford cotton cleaner and declare that
it has met the most severe tests, proving
more than equal to every emergency. 1t
is to be hoped it can be manufactured on
a scale to permit OF it's early utilization
throughout the entire cotton growing
region.

THE TRUE "LWARDNESS,n

The Senate twice passed the bill appropria-
ting $3.50 900 to furnish the new capitol the last
time being when 1t tackled 1t on to the end OF
the general a. preparation bill. The House re-
fused to consider the measure at all, though
plainly seeing the urgency OF the case and the
necessity of the bill becoming law at this SEES
sion of the Legislature The horizon of fact
and reason has in vain been scanned for a
plausible excuse; even Imagination, in It's
flight, has not happened on a reason for such
conduct on the part of the House. At least a
plain, con- mon sense, bread and butter fact
staTes us in the face. 7 he average hayseeds who
figure In the House-and their name is legion
have been dazZled by the wealth their legisla-
tive career has shOwered upon them. Sixty days
at S. day-and the result is $500; thirty days
at 50 O day, and SO more are to be added, until
the total l. $50 for three months work, and
that a novel and dlgnifed kind OF work. The
expense of such one in the style OF life he
would elect to lead in Austin would foot up to
the luxurious sum of about $50 month"; nee
q clear profit in thre7 months of S7O0-mOre
than he would clear at home in two years. No
wonder they want an extra sessi n in which to
pass this capitol appropriation-mOre dignity,
more honor, and, best of all, more money. We
would be charitable, but for the life of Us we
can see no other reason than this for the ridic
ulOus action of the House In this matter
Austin Statesman.
Could not the Statesman have found 8
better reason for the action Of the House?
Was there no patriotism IN that body?
The Statesman is printing serious news
from all over Texas, and even calls edit
orial attention to the gravity of the sit
uation as pictured by its news columns.
Why not credit the Lower House with a
due regard to the necessities OF the peO-
pie at this time and ascribe to timely
economy its action? Texas can wait two
years for new furniture without hurt
to its interest, but suppose the
appropriations should exceed the reve-
nues, would not the responsibility
be properly fixed on the Legislature, and
might not even the Statesman be num-
bered among the critics of those who
were profigate in legislation at a time
when people were grooming under past
burdens and future prospects?
Again: The Statesman breaches true,
pure Democracy. Who have been and
WIZ arc Io-uay AOE OhIE Iue StauuCNeSI
defenders of Democracy, but the ever
lasting bulwark against communism and
tyranny? Are rot the farmers, the men
who own their lands and till them, the
men to whom the Democratic Statesman
appeals in its pleas for Democratic
policies and Democratic success, the men,
who, to very large extent, sent this Lower
House to Austin, deserving more respect
cisms of their representatives The
harshness of the Statesman is unlike that
paper and unworthy of It.

have always shown willingness to do
all intheir power to protect the cattle in
dustry from disease, but it was not pos

of dangerous cattle without action being

which would protect them as common
carriers in enforcing necessary restric-
tons. We call attention to this matter

How to Find a Drowned Body
Hawkinsyille (Ga.) Dispatch.

We learn that two negroes tied their
clothing to the backs of their necks and
attempted to swim the river near Able
vile, about two weeks since. One OF
them gained the opposite bank in safety,
recovering the dead body was rather a
novel one. An old darby took a bundle
of fodder and placed it in the river where
the drowning negro first sank, when it
hoated down about fifty yards and sud-
denly stopped and commenced to whirl
slowly round and round. Here the old
negro dived down and secured the body.
He claims to have recovered four or FIVE
other lost bodies by this means in his eX-
perience, and declares it to be an infalli-

very poor Mr.. Moulton says, and Mr..
Moulton ought to know, that John Sher-
man OF Ohio owns no bank stock, or
bonds in the Union Pacific; in short none
of the fabulous wealth attributed to him
is his. How such an impression could
get abroad is incomprehensible, since it
is we'll known that Sherman had to go
home from Washington "to fix up his
fences" However, as this government
is an eleemosynary institution, sweet
charity may yet be evoked to aid in seat
ing John Sherman of Ohio in the presi-
dental chair. In that case it is to be
hoped that he is not only "born of
poor but respectable parents" but honors
his lineage.

TIE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUS.

THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUS.
TRY.
The untimely death of Colonel S. P.
Cunningham, the southern representative
of the United States Bureau Of Animal
Industry, robs Texas of man who was
untiring in his efforts to promote the live
stock interests of the state. More or less
friction has existed for wears between
Texas droyers and northern cattle
men, growing out of the dread
of splenlc fever, but largely ow-
ing to the work of Messrs. Cunning
ham and Taylor, the western employees
of the bureau, line has been drawn by
the national authorities, marking the in
fected districts, and cattle were moved
north last season without being Unneces-
sarily quarantined. While Texas interests
were promoted, those of northern ranch
men were protected, as not single case
of splenic fever resulted from last
seasons drive. The movement of Texas
cattle to northern ranges has already
commenced, and the death at this time of
the man on whom northern sanitary Off
Gals relied to enforce the res trictions
necessary to protect their interests, is a
public calamity. Colonel Cunningham's
place will be hard to fill, for few possess
his versatile talents and enjoy, as he did,
the confidence of ranchmen throughout
the entire range country. While Texas
mourns Colonel Cunningham's death, and
respects his memory as one of her truest
sons, the work he had in hand must 90
on, and someone found to fulfill the du-
ties of his responsible position. We are
satisfied that Commissioner Colman will
be guided by the wishes of the cattle
men of Texas in the selection of Colonel
Cunningham's successor, and we trust
that new sppointee will be selected
without delay. s.
The failure of the last Legislature to
enact any live stock sanitary laws,
leaves Texas cattle interests expased to
ruin from the admission of cattle from
the old states, affected with contagious

MSECTION 25.n

A number OF the papers are reprinting
from the Dallas and Galveston News the
new land law, in which section % reads
as follows:
Nothing In this act ehall be construed to i'm
pair, interfere with or in any manner effect any
lease or sale, or the rights growing out of the
herein referred to.
This is correct as far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough. Section 25 of
the new land law reads as follows:
Nothing in this act shall be construed to i'm
pair, interfere with or in any manner affect
any lease or sale, or the rights growing out Of
herein referred to; provided, that any person or
persons who have heretofore leased lands from
this state at prices fixed by the land board, and
whose leases are not yet expired, shall have
their rental for the remainder of the unexpired
term reduced to the prices Char. ed under this
bill for the lease of similar lands.
The new law was printed in THE GA
zETTE last Tuesday, this paper waiting to
get the law as it was passed rather than
give it out incorrectly. The provision to
section 25 affects large interests, and
western newspapers which are publish
ing the law should note the provision to
section %.

ONE correspondent of THE GAZETTE, in
reporting the rain in yesterdays issue,
said it was "the best rain" and another
called it "the worst rain" The blessed
fact remains that it rained and rained
where it was most needed. THE GAZETTE

THEY rob trains in Pennsylvania as
well as in Texas. In this state few
desperate men took their lives in their
hands and cried out ''stand and deliver"
in Pennsylvania trusted employees. who
doubtless shared in the northern horror
of "Texas crime conspired deliberately
to rob the trains which every obligation
impeIled them to guard and protect. It
is difference not in criminal instinct but
in civilization, and whatever may be said
of Texas crime, its perpetrators are less
detestsble than towards and sneaks and
betrayers and hypocrites. 1t is the
crime of the prairie VS.. the crime
of the city, and every manly man will
have more respect for the stage robber
than for the defaulter.

TEXAS should get herself divided into several
states When a great drouth appeared there
1t might then be in some other state Louis
vile Courier Journal.
And if 1t were divided there would not
be so many murders in one state, nor
dance-killings, nor cattle ranches, nor
staked plains, nor pine trees, nor sugar
plantations, nor wheat fields, nor cotton
farms; but for sll that, Texas will not
"divide itself into several states" The
world will learn after awhile how big
Texas is, and understand that drouth or
a murder here has not the significance as
similar misfortunes and crimes in small
er states. A drouth in Texas may
be a very sad affair, and yet
affect but small portion of the state;
and so our murder record will not be so
bad as represented when the immense
size of the state, its population and thou
sands of miles of border are considered.

THE meaningless ceremony of opening
all kind of assemblages with prayer was
illustrated by the action of the president
of Brewmaster's Assembly st Chicago. In
conformity to common usage he declared
his intention of Offering prayer, which
he did most impiously, the action being
applRuded by the $50 members present.
This was followed by music and a poem of
bscchanalian character, the latter strongly
derisive of temperance agitators. 1t is only
necessary to remind the reader that these
scenes occurred in a city where anarchism
has wrought so much of evil. Irrever-
ence and defiance of law, moral and civil,
go hand in hand, and find advocates
among those who thus violate the decen-
Cies of life.
